Product details
Overview
IRFB7740PBF from Infineon Technologies is a 75V, 87A N-channel enhancement-mode Power MOSFET in TO-220AB package, optimized for high-current switching in motor drives and DC/DC converters. It delivers 6.0 mΩ typical RDS(on) at VGS = 10 V, supports 275 A pulsed drain current, and features enhanced body diode dV/dt (10 V/ns) and dI/dt capability for robust synchronous rectification and half-bridge operation.
For engineers reviewing the IRFB7740PBF datasheet, IRFB7740PBF pinout, IRFB7740PBF application, or IRFB7740PBF equivalent, key selection criteria include its 1.05 °C/W junction-to-case thermal resistance, 160 mJ single-pulse avalanche energy rating, 81 nC total gate charge, and validated performance in BLDC motor inverters and OR-ing power switches under 175°C junction temperature.
Technical Context
This HEXFET® device uses planar stripe cell structure with optimized gate oxide and body diode design to achieve high dV/dt immunity and low reverse recovery charge (Qrr = 46 nC at 25°C). Its dynamic parameters-including 27 nC gate-to-drain charge (Qgd) and 4650 pF input capacitance-are characterized across 0–60 V VDS for resonant-mode and hard-switching topologies.
The MOSFET operates with gate threshold voltage of 2.1–3.7 V and exhibits stable RDS(on) temperature coefficient (0.05 V/°C), enabling predictable conduction loss scaling from –55°C to +175°C. Avalanche ruggedness is thermally limited and verified per unclamped inductive test (UIS) with L = 0.117 mH and IAS = 52 A.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VDSS | 75 V - Maximum blocking voltage before avalanche onset; enables use in 48 V bus systems with margin. |
| RDS(on) typ. | 6.0 mΩ at VGS = 10 V, ID = 52 A - Defines conduction loss of ~3.2 W at 87 A continuous, critical for thermal management in high-power inverters. |
| ID @ TC = 25°C | 87 A - Continuous drain current rating at case temperature 25°C; defines maximum steady-state output capability in heatsink-mounted designs. |
| EAS | 160 mJ (single-pulse) - Energy-handling capacity during unclamped inductive switching; determines safe operating area in motor drive fault conditions. |
| Qg | 81 nC typ. - Total gate charge required for full turn-on; directly impacts gate driver power and switching speed in 100 kHz+ SMPS. |
| RθJC | 1.05 °C/W - Junction-to-case thermal resistance; enables accurate junction temperature prediction when mounted on standard heatsinks with thermal interface material. |
| VSD | 1.2 V max at IS = 52 A - Forward voltage of integrated body diode; affects efficiency in synchronous rectifier and freewheeling applications. |
Pinout & Package
IRFB7740PBF is housed in a through-hole TO-220AB package with isolated tab (drain-connected), suitable for mechanical mounting to heatsinks with electrical isolation. The three-terminal configuration supports high-current PCB layouts with minimal parasitic inductance.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| G (Gate) | Control electrode | Receives 10 V logic-level signal to fully enhance channel; 2.0 Ω internal gate resistance limits ringing and EMI in fast-switching circuits. |
| D (Drain) | High-side power terminal | Connected to heatsink tab; carries full load current and withstands 75 V blocking; requires isolation when heatsink is grounded. |
| S (Source) | Reference and return path | Serves as common reference for gate drive and current sensing; low-inductance source connection essential for stable dI/dt performance. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Enhanced body diode dV/dt capability | 10 V/ns at TJ = 175°C - Prevents false turn-on during high-speed commutation in half-bridge configurations. |
| Fully characterized avalanche SOA | 241 mJ EAS (L = 1 mH, IAS = 22 A) - Enables reliable operation in unclamped inductive loads without external snubbers. |
| Low Qgd/Qg ratio | 27 nC / 81 nC = 0.33 - Reduces Miller effect and improves controllability during hard switching, especially in LLC resonant converters. |
| Lead-free, RoHS-compliant construction | Meets IPC-J-STD-020 moisture sensitivity level 1 - Eliminates pre-bake requirements and supports automated through-hole assembly. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar N-channel power MOSFET applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| STP75NF75 | 75 V VDSS, 75 A ID, 7.5 mΩ RDS(on), TO-220 package | Lower current rating and higher RDS(on); reduced avalanche energy (120 mJ) | Acceptable for lower-power brushed motor drives but not recommended for 87 A continuous BLDC inverters. |
| IXTH86N75L2 | 75 V VDSS, 86 A ID, 6.2 mΩ RDS(on), TO-247 package | Higher thermal resistance (0.35 °C/W RθJC), larger footprint, no lead-free exemption | Better for ultra-high-efficiency 100 kHz+ resonant converters but requires redesign of heatsink and PCB layout. |
Compared with STP75NF75 and IXTH86N75L2, IRFB7740PBF offers optimal balance of low RDS(on), proven avalanche ruggedness, and TO-220AB compatibility-making it preferred for cost-sensitive, high-reliability motor drive and OR-ing designs where board space and thermal interface simplicity are critical.

FAQ
What is the maximum allowable gate-to-source voltage for IRFB7740PBF?
The absolute maximum VGS rating is ±20 V. Operation beyond this risks irreversible gate oxide breakdown. For reliable long-term performance, gate drive should be clamped to 15 V maximum with transient suppression, especially in noisy motor drive environments where ringing may exceed steady-state levels.
Can IRFB7740PBF be used in parallel configurations?
Yes-its positive RDS(on) temperature coefficient (0.05 V/°C) ensures inherent current sharing. Successful parallel operation requires matched gate drive impedance, symmetrical PCB layout, and individual source resistors (0.01 Ω) for current sensing and stability. Thermal coupling between devices must also be minimized to avoid thermal runaway.
Is IRFB7740PBF suitable for 48 V automotive battery systems?
It meets 48 V system requirements for nominal voltage and surge tolerance, but is not AEC-Q101 qualified. For non-safety-critical auxiliary loads (e.g., HVAC blowers, seat controls), it is widely deployed; however, safety-critical ADAS or powertrain functions require AEC-Q101-certified alternatives like IPB070N15N3.
What is the recommended minimum gate resistor value for 100 kHz switching?
A 10 Ω gate resistor is recommended to limit peak gate current while maintaining <60 ns rise time. Lower values (<5 Ω) increase EMI risk and gate driver stress; higher values (>22 Ω) degrade switching speed and increase switching losses. Layout-dependent parasitic inductance must be minimized to prevent oscillation.
